OT: Pat Forde Article on Calipari

Obvious opinions of Pat Forde aside. It's a pretty great article on Calipari and his deficiencies as a basketball coach. While I read it, I can't help but think of the man we have running our program. We may not always compete for National Championships but we will always have a coach and a team we can be proud to root for. Kentucky wishes they could say the same.
All this is not sitting well with the faithful in KY.
Add in some Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Tarkanian and we'll have a Mr. Rushmore of college sleaze.
I anxiously await the day when we find out that half of the players Cal has recruited to UK didn't even go to class or take exams in their one year there. I would put the odds at 1:1 that Kentucky gets sanctioned because of something Calipari did. He did it at UMass and then at Memphis, there's absolutely no reason to believe it won't happen again at Kentucky
and I can't wait for the news to break. I'll start the posbang thread
Calipari is the greatest coach Vacated ever had.
On your first point, I suspect our first clear clue will be the players that don't project to be drafted after their first year. Do they come out anyway, go play in Europe or the D-league instead of sticking around for another year? That might be a clue that they hadn't done what was necessary to stay eligible.
